Kadyrov informed Putin that 2,716 divorced couples have been reunited in Chechnya.

Previously, those who encountered the work of the republican commission for reconciliation reported experiencing pressure.

In October, Chechen authorities announced that 2,659 couples had been reunited since the summer of 2017, when a special commission was established at the direction of Kadyrov. Based on this data, from November to December 2024, an additional 57 couples were "reconciled" in Chechnya.

During the meeting, Ramzan Kadyrov also stated that this work would continue in 2025, as reported by the state agency "Chechnya Today."

A theologian who left the region told Caucasus. Realia that the reconciliation commissions are performing their duties in a formal manner and under pressure. Women may agree to "reconciliation" to be able to see their children—typically, the court grants custody to the father in divorce cases. Women's rights to legal proceedings in Chechnya are artificially restricted by the muftiate and officials, said lawyer Grigor Avetisyan, who works with appeals from the North Caucasus.

• In 2022, 9,070 officially married couples in Chechnya divorced, which is almost two and a half times more than the previous year. In terms of the percentage increase in the number of divorces, the region ranks first in Russia. Experts and locals surveyed by the Caucasus. Realia website believe that the blame lies not with "sorcerers," as claimed by the authorities, but with domestic and socio-economic issues, as well as polygamy.
• Lawyers specializing in divorce proceedings cite domestic conflicts, domestic violence, men's polygamy, and interference from spouses' relatives in family matters as the main reasons for divorces in Chechnya.
